Re: Does X30 Laptop with XP SP3 work with WPA ?

your wireless card doesn't support wpa. i believe your card is a b card and there is no g card that will work in your machine. the only way i know to get g speed is to use a wireless adapter in your pc slot or a usb wireless dongle. i rebuilt a couple of x30s and i know your usb ports are 1.1 not 2.0 so a usb dongle will probably not work so well. the best way to go is a wireless card for the pc slot.

Re: Does X30 Laptop with XP SP3 work with WPA ?

correct me if i'm wrong but isn't there a white list on the bios that won't allow another card to be used. i tried intel's card and ibm's card and when you install it and turn the computer on it says power off and remove unauthorized card. is there a bios update or something that will allow me to use different cards because i tried everything i knew of to get a g card to work in a x30. thanks, dave

Re: Does X30 Laptop with XP SP3 work with WPA ?

i checked out your link and another one and it seems that yes i can bypass the 1802 error but it still won't acknowledge the card. They haven't figured out yet how to get a g card to work in an x30. Aside from flashing the bios. I don't think I want to get that intrusive into the machine. I really don't want to brick it. So I guess I'll wait and see. When they figure it out I'll go back to rebuilding x30s. The only reason I got away from them was the wireless b card.
